BOONE, NC -- After Watauga County Sheriff's Deputy William Ronald Mast, Jr. was killed in the line of duty last month, his pregnant widow, Paige, walked behind his flag-draped casket.
On Sunday night, she delivered their son.
William Hunter Mast was born at about 7 p.m., said Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman.
The baby boy was 6 pounds, 15 ounces, with "lots of dark hair and dark eyes – he's a cutie," reported his mother.
Deputy Mast, 23, was shot to death in the early morning of July 26 as he responded to an open-line 911 call. Someone had dialed emergency communications but did not say anything.
He was buried July 31.
PLEASE HELP AND DONATE TO THE WIFE AND NEW BORN SON OF FALLEN DEPUTY

I am glad that mom and son are doing well. It is a shame that the boy will never know his father but I hope he takes some measure of comfort knowing that his dad died a hero. Anyone first responder who dies in he line of duty is a hero in my book!
